Love it.

But, if I'm reading correctly, the signatures were free, but they only detected 
and you'd need to update the AV program to clean them. If so, it amounts to 10 
bux to clean to infections.

Either way, it's a fun find. "series of hexadecimal codes" :)

Subject: Blast From The Antivirus Past - You may have seen this classic:

Remember MS-DOS Version 6? It was released March 1993. The new 6.0 had a lot of 
new stuff including a basic anti-virus program and a disk defragmenter. Other 
improvements were in the memory management area by the addition of MEMMAKER.

Now, how did you get your anti-virus updates? You had to buy them! Here is a 
3-page PDF that shows how. First the instructions how to get a user ID. Grab 
your 9600 baud modem and dial their Bulletin Board System (BBS). Next follow 
the download instructions to get your AV updates. The third page is the promo 
where they sold you on getting a whopping whole TWO anti-virus updates for as 
little as $9.95 each. Add the sales tax on top of that. Oh boy, what a deal.

Here is my blog post with the link:

Warm regards,
